Michael Giacchino's Super 8
5-Aug-2011 - Varèse Sarabande has released the score for Super 8. The story: in the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth — something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.
Destined to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the summer, SUPER 8 is written and directed by J.J. Abrams (Lost, Star Trek, Mission Impossible III) and produced by Steven Spielberg. Composer Michael Giacchino — an Academy Award winner for his score for Up — reunites with director J.J. Abrams for an extraordinary adventure that musically returns to the wonders of childhood in what may be Giacchino’s best score yet.
